Littrow on 10" Meade + adaptor for SA
Guys,
I thought I'd just show you my "final" set-up with the Littrow on the Meade 10"LX200.
The various adaptors are to get from the SCT thread to 2". the beamsplitter ( with a 1.25" to 2" epoxied in place!); the QHY5 guide camera at the end of a 50mm extension; the spectro with the 1.25" to T adaptor.
Fitted with the Baader modified 300D... a little bit more complex than the SA!! I need 1.0Kg of balance weight up front.
I also enclose a couple of images of an adaptor I made using 3mm customwood and a couple of old filter rings to allow the SA to be mounted in a standard 2" filter thread.. this gives more opportunity to mount it further from the CCD ie in the end of a 2" adaptor...
To round it off, I've also glued up (!!) a 1.25" adaptor to hold the 50micron or 9micron fibre optic; I want to do some trials and feed this into the specto on the bench....amazing what you get up to when its raining!!!!!
